For something light and subtle, I recommend Nightmare Castle. Sexy and dignified. The Night Evelyn Came from the Grave has some sexy whipping sequences and solid violence in spite of a convoluted plot. Argento's Tenebre has a strong erotic subcurrent. For the more deviant and adventurous, the works of David Cronenberg are gooey, violent and have strong BDSM elements. The same (save gooeyness) could be said of the aggressively sensual Blue Velvet. If you're a creature of deeply aggressive kink seeking something artsy, life affirming, cathartic and full of transgressive sexuality, Buttgereit's Nekromantik might be for you. Though heady, I think these movies are some of the finest combinations of violence and sensuality on film. The man's given us a worthwhile question. Let's be grownups and open up this dialogue to more suggestions.
